Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (University of Regensburg)

Stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) are isolated from pulp tissue of the teeth of 6- to 7-year-old children. Cells expressed various pluripotent and mesenchymal stem cell markers, and demonstrated limited neuronal differentiation capacity.


Pulp tissue of normal exfoliated human deciduous incisors was digested in a solution of  collagenase type I (3 mg/ml) and dispase (4 mg/ml) for 1 hour. Single-cell suspensions were seeded onto tissue culture plates and cultured in minimal essential medium, α-modification (α-MEM) supplemented with  FCS (20%),  L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (100 μM),  L-glutamine (2 mM), penicillin (100 units/ml), and streptomycin (100 μg/ml).
